Hi David,
In our organization, we return a Response object with our own entity and
explicitly set the response code. It doesn't look as if MessageBodyWriter
exposes a way to set the response code (by that time, it's probably too
late - I haven't confirmed this in the source code though). Even inside an
ExceptionMapper, you need to return a Response object if you want to set
both the entity and response code at the same time.
Yes, using Response is one approach; MessageBodyWriters can set
Content-Type and other headers on the mutable map of headers - but that
usually implies that one has to write a custom provider or at least
extend one of the providers shipped with CXF.
Response filters can do it too.
The advantage of using specific types is that that can be better
represented in auto-generated WADL though Response may be adequately
described too; Client proxies will work better with concrete types - but
that can be considered a marginal advantage

In my relatively simple JAX-RS services, I return a Java object that's
serialized to XML or JSON. I typically don't set the HTTP status code. If
I remember correctly, if instead of just returning my Java object, I use a
pure "javax.ws.rs.core.Response" object I can set the status code, and set
the "entity" to the Java object I want to serialize. As far as I can tell,
I can't set the status code if I just return a java object. What is the
best strategy for returning an object AND setting the status code? Is it
just using the "Response" object as I described?
